Stage 9, Hamilton - Niagara, 133.5 kms:

Make that five

Winning stages has become a habit for Canadian Gordon Fraser of the
Mercury team following his fifth stage win of the Tour Trans Canada.

Covering a distance of 133.5km in well under three hours and finishing
in front of Niagara Falls, the race held an average speed of 46Kmh for
the first two hours.

The Mercury team went all out over the final 50Km to line up Fraser for the
finish, who launched himself with 300m to go and no other rider could
pass. Following Flash across the line were Ludovic Capelle (Home
Market-Ville de Charleroi), Sven Teutenberg (Gerolsteiner),
Australian David McKenzie Linda McCartney Racing Team) and US rider Robert
Venture (Saturn Cycling Team).

The 30 year-old Fraser has now bagged a hat-trick of wins over the past
three stages, bringing his total number of wins this year to 25.
